We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Nestled within the ever-popular village of Buckland Monachorum, just a short drive from Yelverton and surrounded by beautiful Devon countryside, this beautifully renovated semi-detached home offers stylish, move-in-ready accommodation perfectly suited to modern family life.
Having recently undergone an extensive programme of refurbishment, the property has been transformed throughout and now benefits from gas fired central heating, PVCu double glazing, a contemporary fitted kitchen, new bathroom and cloakroom, fresh décor and flooring, creating a bright, modern home that is ready to be enjoyed from day one.
A walled area of private front garden provides an attractive approach to the property, with a pathway and just a few steps leading to the front entrance.
A wooden gate also provides convenient access through to the rear garden.
The entrance hall welcomes you into the home before leading through to a generously proportioned living room, a comfortable and inviting space featuring fitted carpet and a useful understairs storage cupboard.
Beyond, the spacious kitchen/dining room has been thoughtfully redesigned with an attractive range of contemporary units, ample worktop space and wood-effect flooring, providing an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining.
To the rear of the property is a practical utility room, also newly fitted, which offers additional storage and appliance space.
This in turn leads to the refitted downstairs cloakroom and provides direct access out to the rear garden.
Upstairs, the first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms comprising two generous double bedrooms and a comfortable single bedroom, equally suited as a child’s room, nursery or home office.
The family bathroom has also been completely refitted in keeping with the high standard of finish found throughout the property. The property enjoys attractive outlooks from both aspects.
To the front are lovely views across neighbouring fields and rolling countryside, whilst the rear elevation enjoys a picturesque outlook over the village, taking in the church and surrounding countryside beyond.
Having been comprehensively modernised throughout, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a stylish village home requiring no immediate work, combining modern comforts with an attractive rural setting.
Outside, the property enjoys a generously sized rear garden, which is predominantly laid to level lawn.
The garden is enclosed by boundary fencing, providing a good degree of privacy, while steps at the far end lead down to a sunken patio area.
This versatile space could be ideal for a garden shed or, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents, offers potential to be adapted into off-road parking if desired.
Agent’s Note: The property is subject to a Section 157 Local Occupancy Clause.
Any purchaser must satisfy the locality criteria, which requires that they have lived and/or worked within Devon for a minimum of the previous three years.
